Cultist of Khorne is a 
Khorne Hero unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer III.
Recruitment[]
Unlocked with: The Armoury or Cultist Camp (Gems)
Description[]
The Cults of Khorne can be found across the world. Less fond of the clandestine trappings that accompany the other Dark Powers, His Cultists establish and propagate such sects, roaming far and wide to serve their God, spreading His corruption in their stead. Some will aspire to rise and become true champions of Khorne, but there are always plenty of eager supplicants who simply wish to murder and slay in the Blood God’s name, and so spread their Cult's influence far and wide.

Strategy[]
The Culist of Khorne is a useful fighter support hero that can provide extra troops with their summons which includes Bloodletters and one Bloodthirster. In combat, they are also a mid-tier fighter who can give and take respectable damage while fighting in the middle of the main infantry line. With their Warshrine mount they provide an aoe buff that improves base, ap and melee damage of all friendly units the more units are killed but in this mount they are incredibly slow and becomes a big target so beware of missile units who will easily take down the Warshrine Cultist if you are not careful.
In multiplayer, the Cultists are often seen on foot to save cost and protect from missiles. This provides a persistent fighter that can launch a devastating Bloodletter summon at a critical time.
